Title:- Supporting Autonomy and Negotiating Advice in Dissertation Supervision - a case study of face-to-face and online interaction: expectations, interactions and reactions
Amidst a global, market-led, neoliberal drive for universities to dramatically increase numbers of students (Jones 2019), I question the sustainability of one-to-one supervision when commuter students face challenges and Covid-19 virus may reduce face-to-face gatherings. A critical post-digital perspective can help us make judgements about how best to combine both individualised (and indeed group), online and offline, supervision. My research will explore the mutual entanglements between online and offline student supervisor communication. A starting point is orientation to different roles and affective displays.
